About This Site
Why does someone become homeless? Why does the rate of homelessness fluctuate from month to month or year to year? Using publicly available data and information about where people in Travis County lose their housing, we show that homelessness is a structural problem, one that can be prevented by addressing underlying socioeconomic conditions.
To show where the risk of becoming homeless is greatest, we have created a Neighborhood Vulnerability Index that incorporates socioeconomic data at the Census Tract level.
To dig into the data, see how homelessness rates are correlated with socioeconomic conditions, and learn more about the Index, click on the Explore button above.
